    Aweber passes that info via the 'GET' method (through the browser's address bar), so you can easily retrieve it with a little bit of PHP.

    First though, you'll need to log into Aweber and do this.

    After you've done that, then simply paste the following code wherever you want the name to appear on your "thankyou" page...

    <?php echo $_GET['name']; ?>

    For example...

    <p>Thank you for subscribing, <?php     echo $_GET['name']; ?>!</p>

    You'll have to give that page a .php extension, but that's all there is to it.

    I'd do a few more checks then just using the GET[]!

    This is how sites end up with XSS vulnerability

      Good point!

      I guess since we are only dealing with names here, ctype_alpha should suffice...

      <?php if (ctype_alpha($_GET['name'])) { echo $_GET['name']; } ?>

        Problem with ctype_alpha is Irish names apostrophies and hyphenated names. I would rather encode it with htmlspecialchars for display from $_GET

    I didn't know ctype_alpha before, it seems a great solution. I use htmlspecialchars most of the time and it works fine too.
